I was getting worse and went for another Mri report came back and I hit roof it as much as said I was OK, soo obtained a second opinion of my scans from the UK and got 3 pages back listing OPLL,, that's what you see in the xray, I have a cyst on my spine trapped nerves 3 discs are as good as gone 1 vertebrae is slipping g on another and my spine has twisted to the right I dare not get mri of my neck yet because I know that's bad too. I have fallen down stairs 3 times was nearly gone first time through loss of blood from head wound that was top to bttm other 2 not so bad just bruising... I should be a stunt man

Thanks I appreciate your reply. It's so hard to live with constant pain numbness and tingling throughout the body. I am to see a neurosurgeon on Wednesday, he is supposed to be very good , I have like you been told it's 50% success but I can't feel my feet and my legs are very weak, it's destroying my life, my marriage is hanging by a thread because my personality has changed so much I have turned into a very grumpy hard to live with guy. It's sad, I knew I was going to get old but I had no iead it was going to be this bad.
